What we aim to solve
Our programs
What are the organization's current programs, how do they measure success, and who do the programs serve?
Cayton Children's Museum
With 21,000 square feet of discovery-based exhibits, two art studios, multipurpose rooms, a state-of-the-art theater, a rotating exhibit space and a broad array of arts and cultural programs, the Cayton provides year-round programming and outlets for experiential learning. Apart from its 25+ exhibits, the Cayton is activated by an annual calendar of public programs both in and outside the museum that engage children and families in the creative arts, celebrate multiculturalism and promote early childhood development.
The Cayton offers daily public programming such as our cultural festivals and process-based art activities, along with seasonal, enrollment-based programs, child development classes, field trips, and arts enrichment workshops in collaboration with community-based partners. All programming is designed to activate play as a mechanism for social-emotional learning, nurturing core values, and building responsible members of the community.
